Su Mingqi was tempted by Su Xin's words. Just as Su Xin said, the collateral bloodlines didn't lack strength, but confidence.
Even Su Mingqi was the same. They were naturally a head shorter than those of the direct bloodline.
Back then, Su Zhongying and the others were prepared to admit defeat and keep the peace, but they were provoked by Wei Zhangdong's words and decided to look for Su Mingqi.
At that time, Su Mingqi could have taken the initiative to look for Su Zhongying, but he didn't and waited for Su Zhongying to look for him. He wanted to see if Su Zhongying and the other collateral bloodlines still had a trace of bravery in their hearts.
Although Su Mingqi was tempted, his rationality told him that if he really fell out with the direct bloodline, both sides of the Su Clan would suffer great losses and be destroyed.
Su Mingqi shook his head. "No matter what, if we fight to the death with the direct bloodline, even if we win in the end, no one can shoulder the Su Clan.
I may have high prestige among the Su Clan's collateral bloodlines, but I'm just a nobody in the pugilistic world. At least, I can't shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the Su Clan's Clan Leader.
The Su Clan is currently in a state of war, and if our vitality is greatly damaged, the Su Clan will be in danger. "
Su Mingqi was a person who knew himself well. He knew where his strengths and weaknesses were.
He had dealt with the two Clan Leaders of the Su Clan, and in terms of managing the clan, he wasn't as good as Su Mingyuan, or even Su Mingli.
To be honest, this kind of standard couldn't support the Su Clan.
Su Xin looked at Su Mingqi and said in a deep voice, "If you can't handle it, then let me handle the Su Clan."
Su Mingqi raised his head and looked at Su Xin in shock. He underestimated Su Xin's appetite.
He didn't want to destroy the Su Clan, he wanted to swallow the Su Clan!
"Impossible!"
Su Mingqi stood up.
Su Xin said indifferently, "Why not? In terms of bloodline, I'm also a member of the Su Clan, a collateral bloodline like all of you.
In terms of strength, I'm one of the four Divine Arresters of the imperial court, and I'm on the Earth List.
I believe you know my achievements in the pugilistic world. If I can't support the Su Clan, then who can?
The collateral bloodlines of the Su Clan want to turn the tables and become the true masters of the Su Clan. What you want is for the Su Clan to prosper. I can give you all of this, so why can't I be the Clan Leader? "
Su Mingqi was speechless. What was he worried about? Perhaps he didn't expect Su Xin to propose such an idea from the very beginning, so he subconsciously opposed it just now.
Thinking about it, Su Xin might be more suitable to be the Patriarch than any other member of the Su Family.
In terms of strength, Su Xin didn't need to be mentioned. Although he was only at the Harmonious God Realm, he was one of the strongest Harmonious God Realm experts. At the very least, Su Mingqi didn't even have the courage to make a move in front of him.
In terms of reputation, Su Xin was famous in the pugilistic world. He killed a Primordial Spirit and was on the Earth List. He wasn't far from being a giant of the pugilistic world.
Most importantly, Su Xin's methods were superb. At the very least, he could help the Su Clan gain a stable foothold in this dangerous pugilistic world.
As for people like Su Mingli, he was purely an expert in internal strife and an amateur in external strife. If he were to deal with other factions, he probably wouldn't even know how he was tricked to death.
Su Xin didn't say anything. He just looked at Su Mingqi.
Su Mingqi kept a low profile in the Su Family, but Su Xin knew about him very well. In general, this person was a very contradictory existence.
Su Xin had once said that Su Mingqi was a man of forbearance and tenacity.
He was able to endure in the Su Clan for decades. He was waiting for an opportunity to unite all the collateral bloodlines to force the Clan Master to abdicate. He was also able to cultivate the Dragon Capture Art, which was not suitable for him, to the point where he could fight against the direct bloodlines.
Logically speaking, Su Mingqi should have become an ambitious person with a twisted mentality under such circumstances. However, due to the closed environment of the Su family, no one had ever instilled such thoughts into Su Mingqi. Instead, his obsession became to restore the Su family to its former glory. However, under this premise, he had to lead the collateral bloodlines to win the status that he deserved.
Although it sounded ridiculous, it was the truth. In a closed environment like Ningyuan Store, the effect of brainwashing education was terrifying. Even a Harmonious Spirit Realm expert like Su Mingqi was the same.
Even warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm like Su Zhongying had suffered such great humiliation. However, they had never thought of betraying the Su family or anything else. Instead, their first thought was to accept the adversity. This was simply unimaginable in other forces.
If a Divine Transformation Realm expert was humiliated like this in other forces, their first thought would be very simple. If you don't let me live, then I won't let you live. I'll find a few opportunities to kill you and then escape. Let's see how you can chase after me.
Maybe in a few years, they would have all kinds of ideas after seeing the normal situation in Jianghu. For now, these people from the Su Clan were very simple. However, it was because of this that it was easy for Su Xin to succeed.
Otherwise, Su Mingqi wouldn't be talking nonsense with Su Xin here. He would have shed all pretense of cordiality with the direct bloodline of the Su Clan.
After a long silence, Su Mingqi asked, "Do you really want to be the head of the Su Clan? Do you want to destroy the Su Clan after using it?"
Su Xin shook his head and said, "As I said, you don't have to belittle yourself. The reason why the Su Clan is called the Su Clan is not because of the inheritance, but because of people like you.
The direct bloodline of the Su Clan is useless, but the collateral bloodlines like you are worth cultivating.
You can cultivate to this level by cultivating techniques that are not suitable for you. If all the techniques in the Su Clan's Scripture Pavilion are open for you to choose, how far can you cultivate?
Moreover, you don't understand the true meaning of a clan. The so-called clan should be a mutually beneficial existence.
The members of the clan work hard for the clan's interests, and the clan also needs to support the members and pay the rewards they deserve.
Obviously, you have paid a lot, but you haven't gotten what you deserve. "
Su Xin pointed at himself and said, "I, Su Xin, may not have a good reputation in the pugilistic world, but at least I have never mistreated my subordinates."
Su Mingqi looked at Su Xin and finally nodded, "Okay, I promise you. As long as you can lead us to destroy the direct bloodline and help the Su Clan regain its former glory, then you will be the new head of the Su Clan!"
Su Xin smiled, "Not you and the Su Clan, it should be called the Su Clan now."
Su Xin had always thought that the bloodline of the clan was useless, but sometimes it was necessary.
For example, today, if Su Xin didn't have the bloodline of the Su Clan, Su Mingqi would have attacked without a second thought when he proposed to annex the Su Clan. Then, many experts of the Su Clan would attack and kill him.
It was because Su Xin had the bloodline of the Su Clan that Su Mingqi finally agreed.
No matter what, it was considered internal strife in the Su Clan.
If an outsider dared to do this, it would be a provocation to the Su Clan.
Su Mingqi asked in a low voice, "Su … Lord, what should we do now? The Su Clan's ancestor isn't that easy to deal with. "
Since he agreed to Su Xin's condition, he naturally couldn't call Su Xin by his name.
But the direct bloodline of the Su Clan was still here, and it was too early to call Su Xin the head of the clan, so he just called Su Xin Lord.
Su Xin waved his hand, "There's no need to rush for now. You have a great reputation among the collateral bloodlines of the Su Clan, but this matter is of great importance, so you need to establish a good relationship with them to prevent any defections.
As for the Su Clan's ancestor, I will think of a way to deal with him. When the time comes, I will arrange for Wei Zhangdong and the others to send you a message. "
With that said, Su Xin took his leave.
Su Mingqi looked at Su Xin's back and sighed. He didn't know if his choice today was right. He actually put the future of the Su Clan's thousands of collateral descendants and the future prosperity of the Su Clan in the hands of a young man like Su Xin.
But on the other hand, what else could he do?
According to the Su Clan's current situation, if there wasn't a talented head of the clan, then the Su Clan would always be lifeless and weak.
Moreover, as Su Xin said, he would be feared by the Su Clan's ancestor and might die a violent death at any time.
He had to make a choice for both public and private reasons, and it could be considered a gamble.
However, with Su Xin's strength, status, Su Xin's reputation in the pugilistic world, and the Su Clan's bloodline in Su Xin's body, the odds of this gamble were very high, so Su Mingqi agreed.
He only hoped that Su Xin didn't lie to him. If he waited until the direct and collateral bloodlines fought to the death and Su Xin still didn't make a move, then the Su Clan would be in deep trouble.
Although in terms of benefits, the probability of Su Xin doing this was very small, but Su Xin's reputation in the pugilistic world was very terrifying. This master's actions were unconstrained and unpredictable, who knew when he would go crazy.
So if he really did this, then Su Mingqi was prepared. Even if he knew that he couldn't defeat Su Xin, he would still fight to the death to keep Su Xin here!
At this time, Su Xin had just stepped out of the Phoenix House, and Huang Bingcheng was waiting for him at the door. Seeing Su Xin come out, Huang Bingcheng hurriedly followed him and transmitted his voice, "Boss, is everything done?"
Su Xin nodded and said: "Almost done. As long as Su Mingqi agrees, then the Su Clan's collateral descendants will be settled."
But at this time, Huang Bingcheng's eyes revealed an ominous glint: "Boss, this Su Mingqi can't be left alive. His prestige among the Su Clan's collateral bloodlines is very high, if he has other ideas in the future, then it will be a big problem."
